So, a few screenshots…
I thought this was absolutely hilarious. Perhaps a little puerile, but still, you’d think they’d filter to prevent things like this.
This is my junk email address that I check only once a week to make sure nothing important slips through. This is how bad the Mydoom Worm has gotten. It’s not that my computer is infected; it was only infected for a few hours early last week. The problem is that the worm sends out emails based on people you’ve sent email to, and someone who has sent me email or who has me in their address book is currently infected and is sending out emails randomly to other addresses with my address as the return address. Whew. Things like this make me glad I control my own mail server. Anyone who uses Windows should run this fix, just in case.
(And no, I could not have avoided this worm by running any other operating system; I would have also had to avoid sending mail to anyone running Windows as well.)
I am absolutely sick and tired of “entertainment” “news” “writers” using the most asinine, horrible puns in their headlines.
For example:
Above And Beyonce
No. no, no, no.
‘Barbershop 2′ Buzzes to No. 1 in Debut
Oh, hell, look at all these…
COME ON!!!
DGA coronates Peter Jackson for ‘Return of the King’
Come to think of it, there were a LOT of crappy headline puns for RotK when it was, er, reigning over the box office.
It’s like they all go to The Pat O’Brien Institute for Severely Retarded Journalists, which apparently consists of 17,512 hours of mad libs and 3 minutes of lunch/recess.
I just don’t understand how every headline for every article about a movie or tv show has to incorporate some inane, soul-sucking banality. It’s the same special ed school of thought that wrought “Jacko Whacko” and “Britney Splitney”…
I want science news to read that way…
Telescope Eats ‘Hubble’ Pie as it Falls to Second Place in Optics
That would be great.
In other news, it feels really good to wake up early and get to work way ahead of time. I wish I could do it every day.
